Default Varmint heartbreak

A rabbit moved in here this year - the first one in recent memory. I
anticipated widespread destruction (we have an unfenced vegetable garden
full of rabbit delights, as well as extensive flower gardens), but
nothing was eaten!! The only time we see him eating is in the lawn
(clover?). He is cute and the dogs like to chase him, so he's safe ...
for now.

The deer are another story, but I don't want to hijack this thread.

Live and let live,
Bob

Addressed to rabbits, that might read: "let live and live". I
wouldn't bother them if they didn't eat milady's garden. I don't
bother the bazillion squirrels around here because they don't bother
me.

Professional courtesy? ;-)

As regards "let live and live", I guess one might say that. Neither
rabbits nor squirrels shoot back so it isn't exactly professional, but
milady's flowers do merit defense from flower-eatin' varmints. I also
have my DD214. ;)

That's good news for the four legged varmints.


I also have my DD214. ;)



Glad to hear it! I am active in local Veterans activities, and I not
ashamed of my time in the military. BTW, have you ever seen a DD214
with no secondary MOS?
